Ive been trying to tell my university lecturers to go paperless and force us to stop writing all these notes, but no…they don’t care about the environment!

I’ve got a great + super simple tip. The next time you’re purchasing a gift card– go for the electronic (and paperless) option, an eGift card. Each year, 75 millions lbs of PVC is dumped into landfills from plastic gift card waste (Plenty Magazine). That’s an astronomical amount of waste for something that can easily and conveniently be sent virtually. PVC is notoriously difficult to recycle and cannot be tossed into the recycling bin along side your other household items. You must send those pesky plastic cards to a PVC recycling plant, the only one I know of is EarthWorks. For a directory of retailers that offer an eGift card, try http://www.giftzip.com …it is the most extensive one I have found to date. Hope that helped.

I would like to thank the team behind Small Biz Trends for including my tip in this big list of 100 Green Small Business Tips.

“Turn off your laptop and resist from turning it on during conferences, meetups or other networking events. The purpose of attending a networking event is to have conversations with people. Keep the work at your office.”

Anita & Staci:

Thanks for including my tip (page 3):

• Buy a Laptop – Martin Lindeskog, Egoist International Business Coordinator, @lyceum

“The best way to help the environment, i.e., your surroundings, is to become a real supporter of the industrial revolution and use cost effective products that is a result of inventors, business owners and capitalists. I think we will see new super compact computer like ultra efficient notebooks / laptops instead of “clunky” big PCs in the future. The trend is that people are buying laptops instead of PCs. It will be interesting to follow the battery manufacturer, Boston Power, in its quest for the “next-generation lithium-ion battery technology platform.”
